What This Recall Means

Component

EQUIPMENT:OTHER:OWNERS/SERVICE/OTHER MANUAL

What Happened
Your owner's manual has some incorrect information about the airbag system in your 2013 BRZ. The manual says the front passenger airbag is disabled when there's a child seat in place, but that's not entirely accurate.
Risk if Unfixed
If you follow the wrong instructions, you could put yourself or a passenger at risk of injury in a crash. This could happen if you don't use the airbag correctly, or if you're not prepared for how it's supposed to work.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Subaru will send you a corrected owner's manual with the right information, free of charge. You should check your mail for the updated manual, and make sure to read it carefully to understand how your airbag system works.

Is YOUR vehicle affected?

This page lists the models and model years named in NHTSA campaign #12V254000.

The authoritative way to know is a VIN check against NHTSA's own records.
